Great fun for mom too!

I am probably enjoying these more than my 5 month old son! Given he's a little young to really play with them yet. We enjoy stacking them and eating them!! They have holes in the bottom of the cups which will make them fun for bath time. Most of the holes are in shapes with the numbers of sides corresponding with the number on the cup - but not all (ex. the cup with the 4 on it would have 4 squares on it). And yes, I did stack cups on my sons head - it's a fun game. I think my record is 3 or 4 before he tips them off!

The best $4 I have ever spent!

Such a simple and inexpensive toy that has entertained my 10 month old so much and has been his most used toy so far. He has been playing with these since about 5/6 months old and he just comes up with new ways to enjoy them which has been so much fun to watch him discover. He started by just grabbing them and tasting them. Now he puts them inside of each other, looks for other toys to fit inside them, and pretending to drink out of them. I know this is a long review for a $4 item, but I really want to express how great such a simple toy can be. I will be buying this as an add on for every baby gift/shower that I need!

Cheapest best purchase ever!

I saw these for A couple dollars and thought what the heck. My baby was 5 1/2 months and is now 7 1/2 months is obsessed with these cups. As she keeps growing the more she uses them. I bought two sets one for the house and one for the diaper bag. She will clank and smack and topple and chew and entertain herself for a while playing with these stacking cups. When we go somewhere and I can set her down I pull out the one from my diaper bag and she again entertains herself .

Fantastic open-ended toy for all ages

I originally bought these stacking cups after reading on a blog about how this type of toy can encourage many developmental play experiences for young children. Who would have thought that something so simple as various sized cups could be such a hit! My 7 month old daughter fell in love with them as soon as I showed them to her. They are easy for her to grip and mouth which is perfect for her at this point. During tummy time play she bats the cups while they are on their sides and watches them roll across the floor. So many different skills are being developed just through simple interaction and play with this open-ended toy. For parents like myself who also want to get the most bang for their buck, these stacking cups can be used well into a child's toddler, preschool and kindergarten years depending on how you go about using them. The cups themselves are colorful and made from a hard plastic. The bottoms of the cups have a rounded rim which helps steady the cups when stacking them in a tower. I really like the numerals on the bottom and the corresponding shaped holes on each cup. Children are not only introduced to size and color with these cups, but also numbers and shapes. For any caregiver or parent of young children, this toy is a must have!

A lot of hidden perks.

My wife purchase these for my 1 year old, and to me they are just small little cups. Little did I know that these cups are developing my baby's motor control, hand-eye coordinations, and language development. The first couple of times, these cups are just cymbals in my baby's hand. Once the banging durability test is done, she learned the difference between big and small cup and how they fit together. My 3 years old also like these cups. They are a real big hit at her tea parties. When it's all dirty, these cups are dishwasher safe. My family have a lot of spending regrets, but buying these cups almost made up for all of our stupid purchases.

Lots of Fun!

These were and INSTANT hit with my 8 month old. He’s still in the “knock things down” not “stack things up” phase, but he’s in love with these cups. We played together for a bit where he knocked over what I would stack, and then he got some good independent play in by banging the cups together and comparing them against each other. There are small holes in the bottoms of the cups, so super easy to wash and dry. Update: my little one is now 13 months old, and these cups are still one of his favorite go-to toys. He’s now into the “stack things up” phase, and is learning hand-eye coordination with them. For a fun twist, pair these cups with a set of stackable rings (we have one from Fisher Price) — my son enjoys fitting the cups in the rings, and also stacking the cups upside down on the rings once they’re all on the peg. When heading out to some place I know there will be a wait, these cups are easy to toss into the diaper bag, and take up very little space for how much fun he has, and how much of his attention they capture.

My baby LOVES this

I can't believe how much such a simple toy keeps my baby entertained. I usually present them to him stacked one inside the other and his face lights up! He is 6 months old and enjoys removing them and banging them against each other or on his high chair. I've recently started stacking them upwards and showing him how to throw them down. I love the small details like the numbers on the bottom face of each cup with the number of holes in the bottom corresponding to each cup's number. I also like that some of the holes are also shaped to match the number. So, cup number 3 has three triangle shaped holes and cup number 4 has four square holes etc. I've read other reviews about rough edges but perhaps the product has been updated because mine are fine and baby puts them in his mouth all the time. I simply wash them with his bottles to clean.

I don't have any good pictures of her playing with them

My bunny loves these. She knocks over the towers I build, pushes them around and tosses them. They are incredibly durable, so other rabbit owners out there, you can rest assured your bun won't bite through them. It's a toy I trust her with unsupervised. I don't have any good pictures of her playing with them, but here's one of them scattered around her after an exhausting play-session.

Baby LOOOOVES cups!

Babies LOVE colors and babies LOVE stacking cups! So, of course, I love them. The only downfall with these awesome cups that baby just loves to bang, chew, sort, fit together, take apart, throw, hold and just look at is that at least one, if not a few of them, always go missing! But, baby doesn't mind! So, how can I? The little ring link was pretty cool too, you can never have too many of those. I take that back, you probably can! lol! but, when you have a baby, you need easily accessible toys ready to grab EVERYWHERE, or you'll be running around trying to find some while telling baby, "it's ok! Don't cry! I'm looking for your rings!" -or- "I'm looking for your cups!" If you are expecting a baby, or someone you know is, or you already have a baby and you don't have any stacking cups, get some! And while you're at it, get some linking rings, baby will thank you with the contentment of intense curiosity and focused play.

These cups are the best. Seriously.

If I could pick ONE and ONLY ONE toy to entertain a baby for the entire first year and beyond, THIS IS IT. Hands down, no question. These cups are frickin' amazing and versatile. Light enough for young babies to handle, sturdy enough for older babies and toddlers to beat on, no sharp corners, compact and easy to travel with, and they make a really satisfying clattering noise when you knock them down, unlike those soft blocks. Yeah, I hear you saying, "Oh, they're just a bunch of stupid plastic cups. How exciting could they possibly be? What do you even DO with them??" Everything. Check it out. - Nest 'em, of course - Stack 'em, of course, in all kinds of ways. Either biggest on the bottom or smallest on the bottom, in order or out of order, one tower or multiple towers. At first you stack them and the baby knocks them down, but older babies can stack and nest them themselves - Chew on the rim, because teeth - Hide the small cup under the big ones - Put a small cup inside a bigger one and rattle it - Roll them - they go in a circle and come back because of the rim - Bang them together - Bang them on the floor - Drive them across the floor - Float and sink them in the tub - Pour water in and out of them - Balance them on your head and let the baby laugh at you - Teach sizes, colors, and numbers - Pretend they are anything. Cars, turtles, cooking pots, phones, whatever Just buy them. Your kid will know what to do.
